Culver City Observer -

USC women’s volleyball senior middle blocker Candice Denny (Saratoga,

Calif./Archbishop Mitty HS), sophomore libero Keila Barra (Pasadena, Calif./

San Marino HS), sophomore outside hitter Kalen Owes (Phoenix, Ariz./Desert

Vista HS), and sophomore opposite hitter Emilia Weske (Potsdam, Germany/

Leibniz Gymnasium) were each named to the Pac-12 Conference 2020-21 Fall

and Winter Academic Honor Rolls on Wednesday, May 19.

The 2020-21 Fall Academic Honor Roll included 725 student-athletes who

participated in the sports of football, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s

and women’s soccer, and women’s volleyball, with each of these sports aside

from football competing in the winter and spring of 2021. The 2020-21 Winter

Academic Honor Roll included 354 student-athletes who participated in men’s

and women’s basketball, women’s gymnastics, men’s and women’s swimming

and diving, and wrestling.

Under first-year head coach Brad Keller, USC (7-8, 7-8 Pac-12) concluded

the season with four straight wins (at UCLA, at Arizona, vs. Colorado twice) and

was competitive in each of its five-set losses to the league’s top teams. The

Trojans had seven matches cancelled for various reasons including COVID-19

protocols, which was second only to Stanford’s total of 12 cancelled contests.
